TLDR: I have grown to like Drake as a person less even though I like the music. The beef made me sit here and evaluate his character

I don’t feel like making a whole thread about this so I’m gonna throw it in here.

Earlier this morning I was sitting down thinking like what happened to Drake the person? I have always been a huge fan of the music but since probably after Views I became less and less invested in who he is as a person. Like something flipped that never truly sat right with me. I never let that bother me when it came to the music because I for the most part enjoyed it. But like, what flipped?

The Drake from 2010 (at least publicly) is not the same Drake that we have today. Back then he felt more humble and appreciative of a lot of things, and he still kind of is for certain things and people. But I think the success began to get to his head. The overt confidence mixed with the paranoia has created someone who I can see why people don’t like. I’m not privy to this mans life behind the scenes but certain things he’s been accused of seem plausible to me like having people in his crew who have done some terrible things. Him consistently being linked to younger women has always been weird (like the whole thing on Calling For You referencing the girl at the club he was into being 21 rubbed me wrong at first). I kind of have been looking at him like Leonardo DiCaprio if that makes sense.

Also the Mob Boss thing has never really rubbed me the right way either. I like the song Mob Ties, but what the f*** does the kid from Degrassi have to do with it? Like has he really fallen into that or is it an act? The ties are there with the Prince family and people around him like Baka, but him specifically getting into all that has always been a little weird to me.

Then now he’s got literally almost every one in the game against him. It’s gotta be deeper than him being the most successful rapper of this era. Also the people who have been actively pro Drake in the mainstream like XQC, Ak, etc. aren’t people that I like at all. I’ve always been like “Damn, I’m on the same side as THOSE people?”

This whole thing has been entertaining for sure but I’m really sitting here contemplating where by disconnect with Drake has been even though I admittedly love the music output. I listen to Drake more than Kendrick but I’ve never thought Drake was a better MC. I echo the sentiment of “I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he acts tough” but I also like the tough tracks under certain circumstances (like the gym).

I think he’s probably a good dad and takes care of those in his immediate circle, but beyond that? It’s fishy.

At the end of the day I don’t want the allegations to be true, but I’m starting to think at least some of them could be. Namely him being involved in one way or another to a ring (whether it’s having money in it or just having people in his crew who do it). I don’t think he’s a pedo, but he’s on Leo time if that makes sense.

Love Kendrick and this beef for hip hop, but the individual tracks themselves will be forgotten. The hype is more about the volume of drops as opposed to the diss tracks themselves. Story of Adidon was on a No Vaseline and Hit Em Up level. None of these near that imo.

If one person in a day calls you an a******, they might be the a******. If ten people in a day call you an a******.....you're most likely an a******.
